glutathione | the enzyme activity is inhibited by 60% by reduced glutathione (GSH) | Capsicum annuum | |
additional information | incubation of pepper crude extracts with increasing concentrations of SIN-1, a peroxynitrite donor, does not modify GalLDH activity significantly. Similarly, S-nitrosoglutathione, GSNO, an NO donor, does not affect the enzyme activity either | Capsicum annuum |

physiological function | GalLDH is a key modulation point of the physiology of pepper plants. GalLDH might have a pivotal role which allows the interaction with several neighboring respiratory oxidases. GalLDH is an unstable protein, and this contributes to maintain and even increase the ascorbate levels, it has also an important role during development and fruit ripening. Respiration can control ascorbate synthesis in plants and for its optimum biosynthesis is necessary an electron flux through the complex I of the mitochondrial electron transport chain. In vitro experiments on GalLDH activity in the presence of GSH show, the ascorbate levels in pepper fruits also depend on the redox chemical surrounding of the GalLDH, since this enzyme activity is inhibited by GSH | Capsicum annuum |
